Hallowen

For the school parade, Karis wanted to be Batgirl. 

Makena wanted to be a cat. 

The 2nd graders don't do a Fall class party, but the 1st graders do. Makena's class rotated through each 1st grade classroom for a snack, craft, game and a story. 

 

In the evening, the kids dressed up for some trick-or-treating. Kyle initially wanted to be a policeman (with his police dog).

Halloween night was pretty warm so we talked him out of wearing his fleece-lined policeman jacket and into wearing his fireman rain coat and putting on his fireman hat he got from the fireman visit at preschool. 

Our first stop was a visit with Mockingbird's 1st grade teacher cast of Inside Out characters.  So fun!

We met Makena's friends there. 

We were then off to collect candy!

Last year we visited Karis' 1st grade teacher (who is now the director at Kyle's preschool). Karis remembered fondly last year's visit so I texted her teacher to see if she was passing out candy. When we arrived, we found friends visiting her as well!

 A fun night with these sweet kiddos!

101st Day of School

The kindergarteners celebrated the 101st day of school. They made puppy ears in class and came to school dressed up as dalmatians. They paraded around the school for all the other students to see. 

Ms. Carlton put in a doggie door for all her pups!

Makena and her puppy friends. 

Teddy Bear Parade

To end their section on fairly tales, the Kindergarten class held a teddy bear parade. Makena eagerly finished her box a week before the parade. She has been so excited to do everything she saw Karis do last year. 

Makena wanted to put a pillow in her box and little tooth fairy pillow under her teddy bear's head. That sparked the idea of making her box into a bed. We wrapped the box in pink paper and put some ruffles around it. She loved it!

The first graders got to watch the parade. I asked Karis and her friends if they rather watch the parade or make a teddy bear box. They unanimously said that they would rather watch because making the box was SO much work!

 

After the parade, the Kindergarteners took pictures. After the parents left, they got to have a picnic with their teddy bears in their classroom.
